SUPPER CLUB - Friday, July 30
Posted: Fri Jul 30, 2021 6:31 am
Good morning!
We were 88* yesterday and going to 91* today. Hot for us, though after what we had the end of June, I'm not going to complain! We'll be cooling to low 80's/high 70's after today. Purrfect! We are sitting on the deck with our coffee and the new little rooster next door is making such funny noises as he learns to crow. He'll have it down before long!
Yesterday I got all my Halloween blocks fused and started blanket stitching them down. Just got started and Bill decided it was a good time to go to Costco, so we got all our grocery shopping done. We're now ready, food-wise anyway, for my sister's visit. She texted me this morning to say they are on their way! They should pull into the yard Monday afternoon. They are taking I-80 through southern WY and ID and cutting across NE OR into WA, the shortest route. Today my plan is to do some more stitching on Halloween blocks but I can't do a lot at once. Machine applique really gets my back and neck. So I will take breaks and do a few uglies in between. Also, I have a lot of fresh veggies to cut up for snacking as well as a watermelon. Then I need to organize the fridge and pantry after the big shopping trip.
JANA - what UFO are you working on? When I cross stitch a project, I actually start in the middle but try to work my way to the top quickly and then work down from there. If you work from the bottom, your hand is always on the stitching you've already completed. And your hand is always secreting oils, so it can quickly soil your work. Especially if it's a large project that takes months to work. I wash my hands every hour or so when I'm stitching.
TINA - that picture is so cute! I see Frankie and some quilts in the background!
VELDA - free corn and cucumbers?? I'm there!!
We have one big boneless loin porkchop so tonite I think we might have some pork fajitas. I have plenty of veggies to grill up with it.
Have you got your supper plan yet?
